Just sell that hood on ebay and buy an OEM style CF hood. It will look awful it you try to fiberglass the holes up.

fiberglass is easy, and if you take your time it wouldtn look weird if you patched that hood up, but i dunno what the top looks like. just get some fiberglass mat or whatever, resin and hardener, mix it up, use it like paper mache, and lay it on the underside of the hood. then youd have to use a body filler on the top to make it nice and smooth, which is the harder part.

What do you guys think if i placed insulation under the hood off another vehicle? I was thinking maybe i was going to cut out the exact shape of where i need it and seal it with some kind of sealant.. Is the insulation off vehicle rain resistant?
